col._n 2.3_o and_o 9_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o open_a face_n of_o god_n after_o a_o sort_n do_v shine_v unto_o we_o in_o christ_n not_o that_o there_o be_v none_o or_o a_o doubtful_a

under_o the_o pretence_n of_o this_o admit_v to_o salvation_n all_o the_o reprobate_n moreover_o satan_n himself_o such_o a_o monstrous_a fantasy_n be_v not_o worthy_a the_o refutation_n they_o that_o will_v escape_v this_o absurdity_n have_v say_v that_o christ_n suffer_v sufficient_o for_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o only_o effectual_o for_o the_o elect_a this_o solution_n have_v common_o

to_o make_v this_o good_a common_a to_o the_o whole_a church_n therefore_o under_o the_o word_n all_o he_o do_v not_o comprehend_v the_o reprobate_a but_o point_v out_o those_o which_o together_o be_v to_o believe_v &_o be_v scatter_v into_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o world_n for_o than_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n make_v manifest_a as_o be_v meet_v when_o he_o be_v preched_a to_o be_v the_o only_o save_v health_n of_o the_o world_n 3_o and_o in_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v know_v he_o if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 4_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o 5_o but_o he_o that_o keep_v his_o word_n in_o he_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n perfect_a indeed_o in_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v in_o he_o 6_o he_o that_o say_v that_o he_o abide_v in_o he_o ought_v even_o so_o to_o walk_v as_o he_o have_v walk_v 3_o after_o he_o have_v handle_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o free_a remission_n of_o sin_n he_o come_v again_o to_o the_o exhortation_n annex_v &_o depend_v upon_o it_o &_o first_o he_o admonish_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n which_o be_v conceive_v by_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o idle_a but_o do_v of_o itself_o bring_v forth_o obedience_n afterward_o he_o show_v what_o god_n do_v especial_o require_v of_o we_o what_o be_v the_o chief_a in_o our_o life_n namely_o that_o we_o love_v god_n that_o which_o we_o read_v here_o of_o the_o effectual_a knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n do_v not_o everye_o where_n repeat_v without_o cause_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o common_a to_o the_o world_n then_o to_o draw_v the_o doctrine_n of_o godliness_n to_o vain_a speculation_n after_o this_o manner_n be_v divinity_n adulterate_v among_o the_o sophistical_a sorbonist_n that_o of_o all_o their_o knowledge_n not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o least_o spark_n of_o godliness_n can_v appear_v and_o vain_a man_n every_o where_o do_v only_o learn_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o which_o they_o may_v babble_v out_o for_o ostentation_n sake_n final_o in_o all_o age_n this_o be_v too_o common_a a_o evil_a to_o talk_v vain_o of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n john_n therefore_o choose_v this_o principle_n that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v effectual_a whereupon_o he_o gather_v that_o they_o do_v not_o know_v god_n that_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n plato_n though_o grepe_v in_o the_o dark_a in_o phaedro_n and_o other_o place_n deni_v that_o that_o excellent_a beauty_n which_o he_o imagine_v can_v be_v know_v but_o that_o it_o will_v forcible_o carry_v a_o man_n into_o the_o admiration_n of_o it_o therefore_o how_o may_v it_o be_v that_o thou_o can_v know_v god_n &_o be_v touch_v with_o no_o affection_n neither_o indeed_o do_v this_o proceed_v only_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n that_o we_o immediatelye_a love_v he_o who_o we_o know_v but_o the_o same_o spirit_n which_o do_v lighten_v our_o mind_n do_v like_o wise_a breath_n into_o our_o heart_n a_o affection_n like_o unto_o our_o knowledge_n albeit_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n bring_v this_o with_o it_o the_o we_o fear_v &_o love_v he_o for_o neither_o can_v we_o acknowledge_v he_o as_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v lord_n &_o father_n except_o we_o yield_v ourselves_o again_o to_o he_o obedyent_a child_n and_o dutiful_a servant_n brief_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o lively_a glass_n wherein_o we_o behold_v the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v change_v into_o it_o as_o paul_n teach_v 2._o cor._n 3.18_o wherefore_o where_o there_o be_v not_o present_v a_o good_a conscience_n the_o show_v of_o knowledge_n can_v be_v but_o vain_a this_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v know_v for_o he_o note_v that_o obedience_n of_o god_n be_v so_o knit_v unto_o the_o knowledge_n that_o yet_o knowledge_n be_v first_o in_o order_n as_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n that_o the_o cause_n be_v before_o the_o effect_n if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n but_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o do_v keep_v they_o in_o every_o part_n by_o that_o mean_n than_o shall_v be_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o at_o odds_n with_o himself_o when_o therefore_o he_o have_v late_o set_v all_o man_n in_o guiltiness_n before_o god_n he_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o they_o keep_v the_o commandment_n which_o satisfy_v the_o law_n in_o all_o point_n which_o example_n can_v no_o where_n be_v find_v in_o the_o world_n but_o those_o which_o labour_n to_o conform_v their_o life_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n so_o much_o as_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n infirmity_n they_o can_v for_o so_o often_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o exclude_v the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n that_o rather_o it_o do_v take_v the_o beginning_n from_o it_o neither_o indeed_o be_v it_o to_o be_v gather_v from_o thence_o that_o faith_n do_v lean_a upon_o work_n for_o albeit_o that_o every_o one_o have_v the_o witness_n of_o his_o faith_n from_o work_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o it_o be_v found_v there_o see_v that_o this_o latter_a proof_n be_v add_v for_o a_o sign_n the_o assurance_n therefore_o of_o faith_n rest_v in_o the_o alone_a grace_n of_o christ_n but_o godliness_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n discern_v true_a faith_n from_o a_o counterfeit_n &_o dead_a knowledge_n of_o god_n because_o this_o truth_n be_v in_o christ_n as_o paul_n say_v to_o have_v put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n etc._n etc._n 4_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o whereby_o proove_v he_o that_o they_o lie_v which_o boast_v of_o faith_n without_o godliness_n very_o by_o the_o contrary_a because_o he_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n be_v a_o effectual_a thing_n for_o god_n be_v not_o know_v by_o a_o ●a●e_a imagination_n but_o when_o by_o his_o spirit_n he_o inward_o make_v himself_o know_v in_o our_o heart_n but_o because_o that_o many_o hypocrite_n do_v vain_o pamper_v themselves_o with_o the_o title_n of_o faith_n the_o
